Genesys Works scores "Hole in One," featured in Accenture's new TV ad to debut at the PGA Tour

Accenture, the global consulting, technology services and outsourcing company continues to raise awareness about their "Skills to Succeed" initiative through which they will equip 250,000 people around the world with the skills they need to get a job or start a business. To this end, Accenture created a new TV ad and we announce with great pleasure that Genesys Works was featured as an example of a key Skills to Succeed partner in the United States.

The TV ad was filmed at Genesys Works (Houston office) and features our Founder and CEO Rafael Alvarez as well as one of our graduates, Hector Avellaneda, who is now an engineer with HP. The commercial will air on the Golf Channel and NBC throughout the Accenture Match Play Championship, a major golf tournament of the PGA tour, which began on February 23 and will continue through February 27, 2011.

Collaborative relationships between business and social enterprises are increasingly required as we work together to change the life-trajectories of our nation's underserved youth. Accenture has been a partner of Genesys Works since 2006 and has played a key role in our rapid expansion over the last five years.

We congratulate Accenture on their efforts to make a sustainable difference in the long-term vibrancy and vitality of people and communities around the world.
